QUALITY CONTROL Supplying an


iconic brand With over a quarter of a century providing the pharmaceutical market with its glass packaging requirements, Beatson Clark was a natural choice when international company Bell Sons & Co wanted a container for its client Omega Pharma UK’s new product, Buttercup Chesty Cough Oral Solution. Glass packaging is an essential requirement for some pharmaceuticals as its inert capabilities ensure that there is no cross contamination from the packaging to the product itself. Bell Sons & Co has chosen the Amber 150ml SS Flat glass bottle from Beatson Clark’s general sale range for the Buttercup product. Charlotte Taylor, Marketing Manager for Beatson Clark, commented: “We are delighted to be providing Bells with the bottle for the iconic Buttercup brand. As Beatson Clark established its own brand 260 years ago, it was the pharmaceutical industry that first benefitted from glass packaging.” 8For more information call 01709 828141 or visit www.beatsonclark.co.uk.
